For The Current Week
“Raffles” is a rare combination of
love, mystery and drame.
Created
years ago by Ernest William Hor
nung and Eugene Presbrey, the char
acter of “Raffles” has steadily in
creased in popularity. The Univer
sal production adapted from these fa
mous stories is an intriguing melo
drama in which secret closets, sliding
panels, piVot doors, a hunted man
and a girl evading London’s clever
est man hv.nVrs play an important
part. House Peters as “Raffles”
give« one of the best performances
of his rather unusual career as a
screen star. He is surrounded by a
capable cast of favorites, Miss Du
pont, Hedda Hopper, Frederick Es-
m el ton, Walter Long, Winter Hall
Bottemley, Lillian Langdon and
Kate Lester, Freeman Wood, Roland
Robert Bolder.
Youth, love and romance are laid
bare in “Tarnish,” the George Fitz
maurice production First National
picture, presented by Samuel Gold
wyn. It is an adaptation of Gilbert
Emery’s famous stage play, a drama
of real life. The photodrama delves
so deeply into the human fabric that
one is forced to choke back the lump
that rises in the throat. The prom
inent roles are in the capable hands
of Marie Prevost, the vamping mani
curist; May McAvoy, the charming
heroine; Roland Coleman, the roman
tic youth, and such players as No»

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our thanks to
the neighbors and friends who con

during our recent ordeal, and espec

which collected an automobile load of
vegetables, clothing, and other neces
sities for the tomfort of our little
one and ourselves the day following
the distruction of our house by fire.
